AG-ITATORSARRESTED
IN CANANEA REGION
All Working Men Released;
Idlers Aie Sent to
HermosiHo.
Cananea, Son-, Mex., March 28.
During the past week quite a number
xf men were arrested in the neighbor
hood of Puebla Nueva. and Buena Vista,
settlements near Chivatera,. on the out
zrwt of Cananea, charged with 'being
political agitators. They were taken
before the court and later sent to Her
mosillo. ,
Among the meh were a number who
were working for the Greene-Cananea
company, and when it was found that
they were working men they were
given their liberty, as it is not the
policy of the officials to arrest men
who are working for their living, but
just those who have been idle.
Conditions in Cananea are good at
present, there being, no disturbances
during the past two weeks which could
be connected in any way with the
revolution except the arrests referred
to above.
The mail stage is now making regu

I PLAN TO CUT OFF
RAILROADS' FUEL
Maderistas .Would Blow Up
Bridges Near Tampico
Oil Fields.
San Luis Potosi, Mex., March 28. A
Maderista plan to tie up the National
Railways of Mexico by cutting off the
supply of fuel oil has been discovered
here. Several arrests haVe been made.
The plan contemplated the blowing
up of bridges on themountain division
between this city and Tampico, and
on the Tampico-Monterey line. Fuel
oil is supplied the National Railways
from Ebano, the station of the Mexi
can Petroleum company, 40 kilometers
"west of Tampicb. The destruction of
the bridges as planned would stop oil
shipments and force a general suspen
sion of traffic.
The government merger system is
using from 6000 to 8000 barrels of fuel
oil daily. It has only a limited num
ber of coal burners, and it would re
quire some time to convert oil burning
locomotives into coal burners. It la
beliteved the plan also contemplated
cutting off coal suplies from the Coa
huila fields. v.
Guards have been placed at the prin
cipal bridges on the- San Luis Potosi

sender and recipient, conveyed instruc
tions to senor Francisco Leon de la
Barra, the newly chosen minister of
foreign relations of Mexico, t to halt

to Mexico City. Asked whether fatigue
occasioned the pause in his trip, he
replied:
It willhot be necessary to say any
thing about that," adding: "Just say
I arrived here and stopped for a day."
Later when it was learned the tele
gram interrupting the journey had been
received, senor de la Barra was asked
whether it was an official communica
tion and wheter his stay here had an?
significance. He ignored the first part
of the quesCqn and answered by saying
the pause in his trip home'had no sig
nificance. Francisco de la Barra will leave here
tonight for Mexico City. He refused
to discuss the prospects of peace in
Mexico.
'It is reported," he,, said to question
ers, "that senor Zamsfcona Inclan has
been chosen as my successor in Wash
ington. If true, the choice is a fine
one. He is a man of intelligence

SOME LOCAL GRIEE
(By Norman L. Walker. ,
We have with us this evening, fel

the most widely known, the most pop
ularly known residents 'of that great
center of education. We have with us
this evening mistah TrJs Speaker, sah.,
the renowned son of Texas, who has
gone forth to battle with the bat and
has come back to his native state with
the laurel wreaths of triumph about
his high and Bostbaian brow. We also
have with us, fellow townsmen, on this

the occasion of this worthy adopted
son's last appearance here.
With us on this bright and beautiful
day is another distinguished citizen of
Boston, whose loss was a sad blov.1 to
Texas but it was Boston's gain. I
speak of none other thanTmister Ed

there is the world famous Patsy Dono

at 3:15 and with these few well chos
en remarks the Boston "Red Sox Amer

The Red Sox are here. They gallop

on the hurricane deck of a Pomeroy

the Sheldon where thej- staked out the

brown as the Boston brand of beans,
the hope of that part of the white race
centered in and around the Back Bay
district of Boston look as fit as a range
rider for a fight or a frolic for the
American league ensign.
To revert a bit to beloved baseball
history, the Chicago "White Sox have
been coming to El Paso each spring
for three seasons: The valley ranch
ers have been accustomed to plant
their crops by the date set for these
annual baseball games and baby nam

But Boston came to bat with a ten
tative offer to stop here and assuage
the grief of this particular part of

the fair weather signal run up on the
Southwestern tower.
Rolling through the Sheldon lobby
like a sailor on shore leave after a
South American cruise, was the above
mentioned Tris Speaker. He would
never look It but he is is what? the
hardest hitting, fastest fielding, head
iest player in any league, big or bush,
barring; pnly one Tyrus Cobb of
Georgia, once removed. Tris wore a
fawn colored sweater with a nifty little

carried n- cluster of bats In his off
